The first Gordon Research Conference dealing specifically with air pollution will be held June 17-21, 1963, at the Tilton School, Tilton, New Hampshire. The specific subject wil cover the criteria of air quality. Participants will seek to determine what concentrations of specific pollutants cause a threshold or limiting effect on each use of air. The detailed progra will appear in the April issue of "Science". The Conference will provide an ideal opportunity for scientific discussion at a relaxing, isolated location. No papers are printed and note takin is discouraged; each participant is free to speak his honest thoughts. It is essentially a sci entific bull-session. Participation is considered to be a signal honor, and the attendance re strictions will limit participants to 100. Those interested in being selected to attend this Con ference should address inquiries to Dr. W.
